Question

Can someone help me with the following code? For sending email in iOS, is the below code a good one or should I use the MFMailComposeViewController than this?:

NSString *url = [NSString stringWithString: @"mailto:[e-mail]?cc=[e-mail]&subject=Greetings%20from%20Cupertino!&body=Wish%20you%20were%20here!"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: url]];NSString *url = [NSString stringWithString: @"mailto:[e-mail]?cc=[e-mail]&subject=Greetings%20from%20Cupertino!&body=Wish%20you%20were%20here!"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: url]];

Is it a reliable code for sending mail?

If this is targeted for IOS 3.0+ then MFMailCompseViewController

    #import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>
  //  ....

        MFMailComposeViewController* controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
        controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
        [controller setSubject:@"My Subject"];
        [controller setMessageBody:@"Hello there." isHTML:NO]; 
        if (controller) [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
        [controller release];

Then the user does the work and you get the delegate callback in time:

 - (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller  
              didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result 
                            error:(NSError*)error;
 {
      if (result == MFMailComposeResultSent) {
          NSLog(@"sent");
        }
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
 }
